2076 is an unpublished novel that is ~100k words long.
The story is set during the year of its title in
a version of America where almost all of the critical
infrastructure needed for a modern society has been automated.
Everything from argiculture to medicine has been replaced
by cleverly programmed robotic systems and the result enables
the populance to enjoy a freedom of time.
In order to facilitate the automated systems and to establish
strong communities, American civilization has evolved into
a series of enormous Towers where everybody lives and plays.
For the overwhelming majority, the society has many qualities
that are utopian, and life is quite enjoyable.
The story in 2076 concerns the events of a small
group of renegades who have a diverse set of personal issues
with the leaders of the country who 'operate' the automated
systems and the society, in general.
The heroes aim to unseat the highest level of America's
governance (called High Operators) and take control so they
can ensure that additional freedoms are available to the public.
Follow their story as Maggie Flanagan leads them against America's
top level of authority to fight for the needs of their small
group of talented adventurers.
2076 captures the feelings of a time where the masses are free
to pursue whatever they want, but others are trapped in a world
that isn't quite as utopian as it seems.
